Lawmakers are hoping to put doctors in charge of calling the shots when student athletes sustain head injuries. A bill, introduced Tuesday, would set “return to play” guidelines in the state.

"You have that team camaraderie, you don't want to let your
team mates down so you're not really the best person to decide, you
want to play. And I think through my career, if you can stand and
you're not too wobbly you go back in the game."

The bill would require student athletes who sustain head
injuries to be removed from the competition immediately. They have
to be examined by a doctor, and need a note signed by the doctor
and parents before they could return. The legislation would apply
to any group that uses public school facilities.
